Home Storage Solution - Enquiries - 05-08-2024
I recently saw the Ugreen NAS on Kickstarter and thought about backing it, however, I have watched a few of your videos and feel like I might get in over my head. I can certainly learn and am pretty comfortable with operating computers, but now I feel like NAS may be more than I need. I use Apple products and am looking for the best storage solution for my over 700 movie collection with the option to share with family/friends. Also want to backup photos, files, etc. I have used WD My Book products in the past and set them up as network drives but always seem to run into issues with their software. What solution would you recommend? After watching your videos, I just feel like NAS would be overkill. Appreciate your help.
